| not entirely sure....all that I know is, is that I have spoken with a guy in Cincinnati about his PBL, and he liked the speeds he was getting.
Anyway, once again, the technology which should ultimately be for the ruralites gets deployed in an area where there is an overabundance of urbanites...*sigh*.
just our luck, we'll probably never see this either. |

Only technically clueless people (e.g., FCC Commissioners) argue that BPL is applicable to rural environments. It has the same feasility issues in low-density areas as any other broadband technology, if not more so. |

I am going to assume you have never been to the Syracuse area based on those comments. Just to clarify, even Syracuse city proper is more of a suburban area than a "real" city. The downtown area doesnt really have any residential areas, and most people live in houses as opposed to buildings. While Syracuse is certainly not rural, the people living in the suburbs of this "suburb city" for the most part have land and room to spare.

With National Grid ? I doubt you will see a slow down. They have Carrier class fiber every where. I have worked for them and let me tell you their fiber is definitely top notch, they have a very competent network designer that I have worked closely with.
And It's not even mapped since it's their private fiber, they lease to verizon tmobile and cingular just to name a few, as well as other carriers and Isps.

When they get it to Skaneateles, Borodino, Spafford and Homer, I'll believe they have gone rural.

Until a few ppl start using the 5mb up to run servers of some type. Then they will drop the up down like every other company. |

Especially when you consider the neighborhood "backbone" is probably only 20 to 50 Mbs. A couple peer-to-peer file sharers will eat up the backbone bandwidth real quick. |

Don't hold your breath...installing those every-2000-feet repeaters will make such an installation cost-prohibitive unless they can convince everyone in those towns to sign on. |
